| Abstract | ||||
| This paper provides a suitable fuzzy logic control (FLC) system for three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system which aims to work at unity power factor and constant output voltage suitable with the grid for any PV side or grid side disturbances. Also by the control system, the (PV-common DC link) interface transfers the energy drawn from the PV array by keeping dc voltage constant. Also, FLC results are compared with conventional (PI) control at the same disturbances. The model contains a detailed representation of the main components of the system that are the PV arrays, the booster converter and the grid side inverter. A novel method for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique through fuzzy logic system is implemented and compared with INC MPPT technique. MPPT techniques are obtained under different temperature values and irradiation levels. Modeling and control is carried out using MATLAB-SIMULINK. The simulation results showed the control performance and dynamic behavior of the system at various disturbances such as three-phase short circuit at connection point, one line outage and irradiation variations | ||||
